Read Chapter 1 and 2 Within Reach My Everest Story toegether.
Answer the following prompts in the Google Document you have been using for reading:
1. Why do you think the author wrote this story in first person?
2. What have you learned about Mt. Everest and mountaineering that you did no know before?
3. What is something daring that you have dreamt about doing or have actually done?
For example. Since begining a young boy I have always wanted to hang glide. When I was 30 years old traveling in Switzerland, I was able to follow thru on this dream and hang glide. Once I overcame the fear of launching off a cliff, I enjoyed 20 plus minutes of fying in the Swiss Alps.
